Strawberry Moon

The popular nickname for the full moon in June comes from the Algonquin tribes. They called it the "Strawberry moon" to mark the peak of ripening strawberries in the northeastern U.S.

In fact, many names for full moons have origins in early Native American tribes — including March's full moon, called the worm moon, as well as May's full moon, known as the flower moon.
 
Known as the Strawberry Moon, June's full Moon will rise on the evening of Saturday 3 June 2023, at 9:01pm BST, and will reach peak illumination at 3:42am BST in the morning of Saturday 4 June.

But its fruity name has nothing to do with the colour of the Moon, although if a lunar eclipse were to fall at the same time as the Strawberry Moon, you would be forgiven for thinking so.

So where does the name come from? And what other names does June's full Moon go by?

The name 'Strawberry Moon' originated from Native American tribes, specifically the Algonquin tribes, who used the name to mark the beginning of strawberry harvesting season in the northeastern parts of North America.

For these tribes, the full Moon in June corresponded with the ripening of wild strawberries in the region. It served as a useful natural indicator (or celebration?) as the time to gather and harvest the sweet fruit.

The names given to full Moons vary depending on regional and cultural traditions. These names often reflect natural phenomena, agricultural activities, or significant events during that particular time of the year.

In addition to most widely being known as the Strawberry Moon, the June full Moon is also known by other names in different cultures and folklore. Some of the alternate names for the June full moon include:


  • Rose Moon: Not to be confused with the Pink Moon in April, this name is associated with the blooming of roses in June (although sometimes it applies to the month of July). It signifies the abundance of roses during this time of the year, and is largely associated with Europe.

  • Mead Moon: In medieval Europe, the name Mead Moon was used to signify the time when meadows were mowed for hay, which was used to make mead. Mead is made by fermenting honey mixed with water and sometimes with fruits, spices, grains, or hops. It's actually one of the oldest alcoholic drinks in recorded history, and back in the day it was so delicious, it was called 'Nectar of the Gods'.

  • Lotus Moon: Less popular than Rose, Mead, or Strawberry Moon, is the Lotus Moon. Significant for many Eastern religions, the lotus flower - which blooms in ponds at this time of year - represents purity, beauty, enlightenment and serenity.
The next full Moon is often known as the Buck Moon and will rise on 3 July 2023.
